1. About your Security System Introduction Your security system is made up of several component parts comprising of a control panel, one or more remote keypads, external sounder and various detection devices that are connected to either the control panel or zone expansion modules. The control panel houses the system’s electronics and stand-by battery and is normally installed out of sight in a utility room or under stairs cupboard etc.
Your access code may not allow you to access certain system functions. For instance, if your code is only allowed to arm the system you will not be able to disarm the system, once the system is armed. NFC Tags NFC (Near Field Communication) tags can be assigned to users of the system.

Emergency Keys The keypad provides 3 different emergency functions. Depending on the setup of your system, activation from these keys can alert the local police, key holders and security personal via your Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). The emergency keys for each keypad can be individual enabled or disabled and may not be enabled on your installation due to local standards and police requirements.

You will then be prompted to press the Fire Alarm icon, and then select the icon again to confirm the activation. This is in place to ensure it is a confirmed event and not an accidental button press: Press the ‘CONFIRM’ icon to generate the selected emergency or press the ‘Back’ icon to cancel.
2. Operating your Security System Introduction Before attempting to operate your security system, please ensure that you have familiarised yourself with the procedures covered in this section of the manual. User Menu On entering a valid access code or presentation of a tag the keypad will display the ‘User Menu’. This menu is used to perform all system operations including arming, disarming, testing and system configuration.
Full Arming Your Security System The full arming mode is used for protecting all detection zones within your allocated areas and is normally used when leaving the premises or area unoccupied. Before attempting to full arm, check that your areas are ready for arming. To full arm your area(s), please proceed as follows: Enter code or present tag to select the user menu.
Part Arming your Security System The part arming mode only protects predefined detection zones. The system has 3 ‘Part arm’ modes which allows for flexible arming configurations, e.g., ‘Part arm 1’ could be configured to arm only downstairs zones, whereas ‘Part arm 2’ could be configured to arm only perimeter zones.
Disarming your security system When the system or area is armed, you must enter the protected area via the designated entry route. Upon entering the premises, the entry timer and entry tone will start. To successfully disarm the alarm, a valid access code or tag must be entered before the entry timer expires. To disarm your area(s), please proceed as follows: Enter the protected area by the designated entry point, the entry tone will sound and the keypad will show the following screen:...
Area full arming Zones can be grouped together to make ‘area sets’. Area sets are often used in multi tenanted buildings where there is a communal entrance and separate living spaces/areas of work. Users can arm individual or multiple area sets. To full arm selected areas, please proceed as follows: Enter code or present tag to select the user menu.
Area part arming Zones can be grouped together to make ‘Area Sets’. Area Sets are often used in multi tenanted houses where there is a communal entrance and separate living spaces. Users can arm individual or multiple area sets. To part arm selected areas, please proceed as follows: Enter your code or present tag to select the user menu.
Area disarming Normally when entering a protected area via the designated entry route, the area is disarmed after a valid access code or tag presentation. Sometimes it is desirable to disarm one or more areas before entering them via the designated entry route. To disarm your selected areas, please proceed as follows: The keypad will show the areas that are currently full armed: Enter your code or present tag, the ‘disarm areas’...
Resetting after an alarm To reset after an alarm has occurred, please proceed as follows: If your system has gone into an alarm condition, the screen will alternate between the following two displays: Enter your code or present tag to silence any internal and external sounders. The reason for the alarm will then be displayed on the keypad screen.
Resetting after a Fault Condition To reset after a fault has occurred, please proceed as follows: If your system has generated a fault condition, the display will indicate the fault that has occurred. For example, if there is a fault with the battery, the following will display: Enter your code or present your tag to the keypad.
Omitting Zones Zones can be omitted to temporarily prevent them from causing an alarm either during the disarmed mode (24hr zones) or prior to arming the system. Only the ‘Master’ and ‘Manager’ user types can omit zones. To omit one or more zones, please proceed as follows: Enter code or present tag to select the user menu.
Changing Your Code User codes are unique to each user and can be 4,5 or 6 digits in length. Users can change their code at any time by following the procedure below: Before changing your code, it is strongly recommended to note the new code. If you forget your code later it must be changed by a master user of the system or the installation company.
Turn chime on/off This option allows the chime feature to be turned on or off for each area. If the chime feature is switched on, then monitored zones that are activated during the disarmed state will cause the system to generate a chime response. See Error!
